Now for the shiny new Realtek offering. If it wasn't for the ESP32 just arriving, this module might have been a big hit. Heck, it still may, what do I know - but for now it seems stuck to the sidelines.

A breadboard compatible RTL8710 module, essentially a replacement for the NodeMCU, at least in theory ;) We'll see how the software support matures.
